Using Brain Science to Design ESL Programs

I have always experimented with ESL students to try to determine which combination of ESL teaching methodologies provide the fastest and greatest amount of English Language learning and retention.

Like many ESL teachers I have used pictures, flash cards, games, drills, TPR, music, spelling bees, contests, exercises, CALL, free reading, structured reading, listening, realia, field trips, hand-on activity, story telling, individual and group work to help students learn English.

I was doing some light reading getting ready to summarize my next English Camp Teaching Methodologies when I rediscovered a reference to a group of Japanese Researchers. They have had several decades to conduct research and here are a few of their reports

Cortical plasticity for learning English rules between spelling and pronunciation during second-language acquisition. Soc. Neurosci. Abstr. Program No. 263.7 (2006).

Differential top-down modulation for language and melody-related activity in the auditory areas: An MEG study. BIOMAG 2006. 15, 65, C1-2 (2006).

Anatomical connections among functionally identified brain regions for sentence processing. Neurosci. Res. 55, Suppl. 1, S51, OS2A-8-11 (2006).

Cortical plasticity in adulthood for learning phonics rules for English orthography and phonology. Neurosci. Res. 55, Suppl. 1, S50, OS2A-8-07 (2006).

Grammar center activation in honorification judgment of Japanese sentences. Neurosci. Res. 55, Suppl. 1, S49, OS2A-8-05 (2006).

Correlation between regional grey matter volume and proficiency increase in second language: A VBM study. Neurosci. Res. 55, Suppl. 1, S49, OS2A-8-04 (2006).

Direct anatomical connections among functionally identified prefrontal regions for sentence processing. Human Brain Mapping Abstr. Program 289 W-AM (2006).

Separate neural bases of two fundamental processes during second language acquisition in the inferior frontal cortex. Soc. Neurosci. Abstr. Program No. 354.6 (2005).

Training-related increase and proficiency-dependent decrease of grammar center activation during second language acquisition. Neurosci. Res. 52, Suppl. 1, S61, O3B-04 (2005).

Activation of the grammar center in new picture-sentence matching tasks. Neurosci. Res. 52, Suppl. 1, S61, O3B-03 (2005).

Language processing specialized in the left prefrontal cortex. Neurosci. Res. 52, Suppl. 1, S4, Tsukahara Award 2-2 (2005).

Serious teachers can go to read the additional 200 papers
http://mind.c.u-tokyo.ac.jp/Sakai_Lab_files/Staff/KLS_Paper.htm

As a teacher I think that the Brain mapping and understanding the modularity of brain functions will produce better teaching and learning practices. I want to be able to teach myself French or Spanish in six months!!

New Scam targeting ESL Homestay Providers

My name is Rachel, I'm a homestay provider and I just about got scammed out of $15,000. Luckily I caught it in time.

Homestay providers are a new target for scammers. Nigerian and similar, scammers are plaguing classified ads and targeting homestay providers.

My homestay listing was on a few free classified online sites just these past 2 weeks. I got sucked in because, being an English tutor , but being new to providing homestay, I fell for the broken English.

What tipped me off was getting a third-party phone call from someone wanting to send me a certified cheque for homestay. A big red flag: was that the scammer wanted to overpay for the services and have me send the difference to Russia, from where the mythical student was from. I also recalled seeing some investigative reports on online scams, particularly Nigerian ones that are popular, last year, and the tactics they use.

I would like to please suggest that a well placed organization such as yours, that is prominent in Google searches, have some space for scammers targeting homestays from nefarious and fake students. Could your website be a help in this? Perhaps make space on your fraud page?

I'm happy to provide my story as an example because my learning, or realizing, that my situation was a scam is very fresh to me -- I just got called today from the third-party person whose area code was in Quebec, and I've been in correspondence with this potential student for over a week now, supposedly from Russia. I could have lost a lot of money. But I didn't. And I don't want others to fall prey.

I'm wanting to help inform other homestay hosts of this situation --as I believe it's fairly new. Homestay providers need to become aware.

I await your response and, in the meantime, I'll be writing my story and posting it everywhere else I can online, for starters, and soon the police and other places too.

Thank you for reading my letter.
